"The program is designed to serve substance abusing pregnant and postpartum women and their children. Fairbanks Native Association has a SAMHSA grant (Sacred Child Project) that created five residential beds with new services to include enhancement of the current Recovery-Oriented System of Care to a Trauma-Informed System of Care, evidence-based trauma screening and treatment, and a family re-unification unit."

Women & Children’s Center for Inner Healing “uses process, performance, and outcome measures to evaluate its services. WCCIH is independently evaluated on an annual basis by Dr. Bernard Segal, PhD. WCCIH has long standing CARF certification, which was renewed in 2002. The Center meets all state licensing requirements.

“Client data is collected on a regular basis and used to assess progress. Clients are extensively assessed at the time they enter the program and at 3, 6 and 12-month intervals. Cases are reviewed twice a month. Clients perform a self-evaluation once a month. Individual progress is evaluated on an ongoing basis and adjustments are made if the treatment is insufficiently effective.” From: https://www.oneskycenter.org/native-program/women-childrens-center-for-…
